Possibly by modeling them...

model them how? isn't there a certain way to do them?..

It depends on the model, what you will do with it and your own preferences. The easiest way is to use polygon tools. Create a polygone, then extrude the edges to create more and model polygon by polygon.

Also you can make one larger polygon roughly the size of the object you need to make, then use the knife tool to cut it and more points to get the appropriate shape.

Polygon models are rough, and meant to be into an HyperNurb Object. This can change the shape significantly. Use the knife to make cuts near the edges of your polygon object, or use extrude inner.

If you are unfamiliar with modeling with polygons, take a look at the Maxon tutorials. or get a DVD tuturial from 3d Fluff (http://www.3dfluff.com/). They are excellent. I suggest the vol 3 for non-organic modeling. It is a very good investment and quite reasonable price.
